This week we discuss the various Oscar races in the wake of the BAFTA winners, touching upon Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's amusingly reduced moniker at the ceremony, the best of the speeches, and the closeness of the Boyhood vs. Birdman Best Picture tussle. It's a week of mixed expectations on the podcast, as we review the ethereal Jessica Chastain's latest passion project "Miss Julie," helmed by Pete's favourite actress and female director Liv Ullmann, while buzz was in the gutter...

Welcome to week 57, in which recording the podcast was so troubling Cal thinks that he deserves an Oscar for editing it. This week Danny Boyle might be on the verge of a reprieve, as we encounter multiple films capable of rivalling "Trance" as our worst of the year, but will any of them budge it? We have reviews of magic caper "Now You See Me," Ben Wheatley's "A Field In England," French drama "Therese Desqueyroux" and Bollywood period goodness in...

Podcast blog: moodforpodcast.com This week sees a reprise of our infamous Divide & Conquer week, as we go it alone for six of the seven films showcased. Cal was forced to abandon Derek Cianfrance's "The Place Beyond the Pines" due to illness, so Pete handles the Ryan Gosling vehicle himself, as well as dishing the dirt on Greek themed Brit film "Papadopoulos & Sons." After Cal highlights the dated politics in Gus Van Sant's "Promised Land," he has to stem a...

She brings us extensive coverage of the film festival, reviewing most of the competition line-up, and dishing her verdict on (among other things) why Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Birdman" left Italy empty-handed, and why Kim Ki-Duk's filmmaking style is getting rather insufferable.

Podcast stalwart Irini M. is back with us to discuss the line-up for this year's Venice Film Festival (which she will be attending) but abandons us after half an hour, forcing Pete to turn to poetry for consolation.

This week we pay tribute to two legends of the screen, as we discuss our favourite career highlights of Robin Williams and Lauren Bacall. The week's releases offered few options, but we both managed to catch photographic documentary "Finding Vivian Maier" and Ari Folman's live action/animation hybrid "The Congress," which led us to some might preconceptions about Robin Wright. Pete saw the latest Simon Pegg comedy "Hector and the Search for Happiness" but only...

Elsewhere, we each give our top ten films of 2016, which includes those from Korea, Germany, Argentina, and more! Plus there's a...
